Introductions

[Frantasmic]

When you introduce yourself to other parent's, how do you refer to yourself?


Are you your child's father, dad, daddy, or mom, mother, mama?

 

[ckay87]

By my first name.

 

[momsgoofy]

Typically, I say something like...

Hi! I'm Laura, so and so's mother.

 

[pozey]

Typically, I say something like...

Hi! I'm Laura, so and so's mother.

Pretty much the same.

Except my name isn't Laura...
And I'm not a mother...

I say "Hi, I'm (insert first name). I'm (insert child's name) dad."

 

[cats7494]

I usually say -

Hi, nice to meet you... I am Stefanie - I am ____'s mom.

 

[CathrynRose]

"I'm Cathryn, Danny's Mom" or "Im Cathryn, Joey's Mom"

I had a dad call me last night - he said "This is Mr _______, Jeremy's Dad" I thought it was kinda weird. He's about the same age as me.

 

[Frantasmic]

Is the referential title you introduce yourself as the same one your child(ren) call you?


My father always introduced himself as ____'s daddy, but I never called him daddy. He was always Dad.

 

[tkd lisa]

I say "Hi, I'm Lisa xxxx, DS/DD's name's mom."

In fact, the first time we visited our current church, I introduced myself to the pastor that way (DS had already introduced himself), and my pastor said "Hi, I'm Mark. I'm Casey's (DS's name) pastor."

 

[NMAmy]

"I'm Cathryn, Danny's Mom" or "Im Cathryn, Joey's Mom"

I had a dad call me last night - he said "This is Mr _______, Jeremy's Dad" I thought it was kinda weird. He's about the same age as me.

Same age but apparently pretty formal.

I say, "I'm Amy Lastname, Caitlin's mom." DD and I have different last names so I try to avoid some of the confusion this causes. DD introduces DH (her stepfather) as "This is my Alex." Like everyone has one, he just happens to be hers.

Oh, I have to do that too...

Im Cathryn (last name), Danny (last name's) mom.

I just left that part out.

Is the referential title you introduce yourself as the same one your child(ren) call you?


My father always introduced himself as ____'s daddy, but I never called him daddy. He was always Dad.

My older son now calls me Dad most of the time instead of Daddy. Now that he's a "big kid" (he's 6 ). My youngest calls me Dada

But like others, I'll introduce myself with, "Hi, I'm Steve, Cameron's Dad"

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

Typically, I say something like...

Hi! I'm Laura, so and so's mother.

Hey me too

 

[pozey]

My father always introduced himself as ____'s daddy, but I never called him daddy. He was always Dad.

My kids all call me Dad. Never have they called me daddy or dada.
And I reference myself as ______'s Dad.

 

[Robinrs]

Always I'm Robin, Michael's Mom....

 

[kejoda]

well I guess it would depend if their behaving or not If they are their mine, if they aren't they belong to Dad.

 

[stinkerbelle's mom]

"I'm Cathryn, Danny's Mom" or "Im Cathryn, Joey's Mom"

I had a dad call me last night - he said "This is Mr _______, Jeremy's Dad" I thought it was kinda weird. He's about the same age as me.

My dh is forever doing that. Drives me crazy! I use the same approach as you, Hi I'm Mary _____'s mom.
